Love List {August}

August -where have you gone ???

Here is my monthly round up of cool products, people, blogs and books that I am loving!

♥ Kombucha is so hot right now! But, it can be so confusing to know where to start and how to do it! Well, the lovely Kristen from Naturally Better Foods has sorted it all out for you.  They are now selling a Kombucha Starter Kit! You get a massive 4.25 litre glass jar, a scoby (that’s the mushroomy looking thing you need to make it) and three kombucha shots to get you inspired. They can deliver Australia wide and it’s on sale at the moment for $45.oo. It’s time to get brewing!

♥  This gorgeous post from Rachel Macy Stafford, author of Hands Free Mama, talks about children who shine from within – the fireflys.  For every child who has ever felt ‘different’ this is a beautiful, uplifting read.

♥ Breastfeeding? Simone at Nourishing Hub has these new Tanker Topper lactation biccies from Franjos Kitchen. They are a yummy and nourishing way to keep your supply up. They are wheat, dairy and egg free and contain lots of superfoods and are developed by a naturopath (the Jo part of Franjo!). Get them in Choc Chip or Fig and Almond flavours. PS you don’t need to be a breastfeeding mum to eat them, anyone can benefit from them (Simone’s husband has been devouring them!)

♥ I love discovering new brands created by small, local, passionate biz doing the natural thing! Amanda at The Organic Store has found Noosa Basics and now has them in store. Noosa Basics are a boutique natural apothecary based in (you guessed it)….. Noosa. Their range includes lip balm, deodorant in a stick and a tub and *ahem* a pleasure enhancer at very affordable prices.

The products are all natural and organic and totally free of all nasty chemicals and toxins. I also love that they source all their ingredients and packaging and labels from Australian suppliers. Get them online from The Organic Store (and check out all the other cool things Amanda sells! I do a regular order!)

♥ Zanni Louise from My Little Sunshine House posted a fabulous blog about how to paint with flowers. What a totally natural paint to use! Absolutely beautiful.

♥ You might remember that I have mentioned I have suffered chronic fatigue for many years and this year I am also facing severe adrenal fatigue and very high estrogen levels. I am recovering slowly with lots of different things, but I really noticed a huge difference in the last few months after being on  Puraforce Remedies’ Wellness Protocol. Now I am not needing a day time nap and can even go for a daily walk again. I also made it through winter without any colds, flu or bugs. Thrilled!!!

Nicole at Puraforce Remedies told me to start taking her Digestion Aid, Hormone Balancer, Stress and Immune Boost drops – 1ml four times a day. I put half in water bottle in the morning and half in the afternoon and sip on it all day. The Hormone Balancer drops are an extra for me in addition to the Wellness Protocol to get my estrogen levels down. So easy, so affordable and with amazing results. I am telling everyone to try this! It can’t hurt! 

You can find out more about the Wellness Protocol here and get a nice discount too (thanks Nic!). Or if you want to chat about your ailments call Nic on her toll free number Mon-Fri 9-5  1800 244 449. The entire range of drops is also at the Puraforce Remedies website – we use her drops for everything now!

♥ Lee Holmes from Supercharged Food released her Heal Your Gut ebook! It’s a cracker and I am loving the recipes so much. I am going to review it on the blog soon, but if you want a sneak peek, then check it out here.
